I was so excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed. The kugel was bland and the dill flavor was barely noticeable.

This cauliflower dill kugel was a hit at our family dinner! It's a great way to sneak in some extra veggies. The dill adds a nice flavor, and the kugel is perfectly crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside.
